<h1>Python HOWTOs<a class="headerlink" href="#python-howtos" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Python HOWTOs are documents that cover a single, specific topic,
and attempt to cover it fairly completely. Modelled on the Linux
Documentation Project&#8217;s HOWTO collection, this collection is an
effort to foster documentation that&#8217;s more detailed than the
Python Library Reference.</p>
<p>Currently, the HOWTOs are:</p>
<ul>
<li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference external" href="advocacy.html">Python Advocacy HOWTO</a></li>
<li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference external" href="cporting.html">Porting Extension Modules to 3.0</a></li>
